In this era of downloads and internet shopping, more and more people are deprived of the joy of browsing through racks of cds, looking for bargains, surprises, or just that special recording.

Grove Music, downstairs at The Grove Bookshop, offers a wide range of classical new releases, jazz on cd and vinyl, and a back catalogue of classic recordings in folk, jazz, classical and rock music. Rediscover the joy of browsing in our cosy basement shop.

Two great authors at The Grove

Thu 14th Jun 12

We are celebrating Independent Booksellers' Week in style, with visits from PeterRobinson and Gervase Phinn. Crime author Robinson, creator of Inspector Banks, will be signing books at 12pm on Saturday 30th June, while the jovial ex-school inspector will be taking part in a promotion called Strictly Come Bookselling, in which authors visit their local bookshop to help out behind the counter, experiencing bookselling at close quarters.

You will be able to find out about these events through Facebook and Twitter, as The Grove Bookshop is now using these social media in order to reach a wider audience.

The 2018 Ilkley Lit Fest is underway! So far, we've enjoyed wonderful events with John Simpson, Nadiya Hussain, Patrick Gale and many more. Grove Bookshop will be at most of the events, come over and say hello. There are lots of fantastic events still to come with tickets available for many. In the shop, we will have signed books after most of the events, but in limited stock, so come soon to avoid disappointment!
